“He is a spontaneous director and he creates such an atmosphere on the sets that you perform even difficult scenes with lot of ease. He doesn’t put any pressure on actors,” said Nawazuddin, who will be seen in Sohail’s directorial Freaky Ali.

Presented by Salman Khan, Freaky Ali also features Arbaaz Khan and Amy Jackson.

The actor said: “I am thankful for Sohail to give me such a wonderful co-star like Amy. I had a great time working with her. Amy understands Hindi very well. I have seen her previous work and she has done some great movies in the past.”
